Americans will get their curling fix in the Winter Olympics, and Bryan Nehman is dubious.

The host maintains it's not a sport, over protestations from WBAL NewsRadio 1090 reporters Anne Kramer and John Patti. Where do you come down on the debate?

Curling, whether you think it's a sport or not, involves players sliding stones on a sheet of ice toward a target. Teams use a pair of brooms to alter the ice in front of the stone, decreasing friction and directing the stone down a particular path. It has been an Olympic sport since 1998, and Canada has largely dominated both the men's and women's tournaments.
